When I think about the year ahead, my thoughts are on spending 2009 with as much bliss as possible.   I am determined to steadily move in the direction of my dreams. How do I do it?  I had a great teacher! My father was with the same company for 36 years as an analyst.  He was also actively involved with the union, as a benefits representative.  Every day before he left for the office he brought me breakfast and coffee, with a smile.  He “chauffeured” anyone to the office that needed a ride.  He would drop everything when a co-worker needed a hand and still accomplish his own “goal” of finalizing each project, with excitement and enthusiasm.  He gave me an incredibly solid foundation for building a bright future; a future that includes supporting my work “team” to the best of my abilities.
